Oakville atom BB Hornets win third straight gold

Three for three.
That’s what the Oakville atom BB Hornets are so far this season in girls’ hockey tournament play, following a championship performance at the recent Waterloo Ravens Fall Challenge Cup.
Oakville, which also won titles at its own Harvest Classic and the Clearview Ice Cats competition in Nottawasaga earlier this season, won all five of its games at the Waterloo tournament without allowing a single goal.
In round-robin action, the Hornets outscored their opponents 16-0 on the way to four straight wins. Oakville then blanked the host Ravens 2-0 in the final, with Brooke Eyram posting her third shutout of the tournament. Victoria McGarrity scored in the third period to break a scoreless tie, and Jackie Murray added an insurance marker.
“The girls have worked extremely hard throughout the first two months of the season, and I am extremely proud of each one of them,” said Hornets head coach Gerry Bouwman.
“To win three tournaments in a row is a difficult feat.”
Other members of the atom BB Hornets are Katie Bouwman, Fiona Gervin, Claire Gosse, Alex Levert, Maddyx Lindsay, Julia Longhurst, Natasha Melhuish, Payton Merkley, Selena Monardo, Paige Murray, Gabrille Noordijk, Ella Walker, Emma Stevens and Katie Stone.
Andrew McGarrity, Rob Gosse and Jeff Longhurst also coach the team, and Cynthia Lindsay is the trainer.
